What is your side project that you have been working on?

Own Blockchain, about 5 different games in unity, monitoring sensors, companion robot, twitch AI streamer, rgb drivers, isometric world map with 700000 tiles, safety systems, twitch bots and twitch rgb controllers...

Countless diverse projects of which 99% are dead.

I was about to make my shoegaze album but then wifu needed help reading her phd so I'm doing that

Also I need to do my accounts

My house, my hobby (including home automation). No time left for real dev stuff.

Playing with my penis

screeps. good for brain

music making library for exploration of music concepts more so RN tbh

I got some crypto analysis projects, that extended into custom AIs

a bunch of to be video games. small ones but I never get to them

got a bunch of small ideas off retoor also

~100 year old homestead renovation.

Currently learning FreeCad to draw a 3d model of what's there now AND then to modify it to plan ahead. It's all in my head so far, so it's a tad difficult to prove my fam that what I have planned is going to be legen

wait for it....

DARY!!

↑↑ All that is in early mornings and late evenings.

Early evenings and weekends are spent cleaning all the gunk from the rooms and walls that's been accumulated there over the years.

implement typing for perl lmao.

@TeachMeCode so you are into miniatures. Cool.

I think I spend too much time trolling people.

Orchid, the weird interpreted functional language I'd spent the last 3.5 years on.

I have detailed plans for a new preprocessor design unlike anything I'd seen before but similar in important ways to Lisp and Rust and more usable than the old design. Once I implement that, I'm optimistic that I'll be able to move fast with high level syntax elements and all parts of the stdlib since a big aspect of the preprocessor's responsibilities is precisely to facilitate implementing such syntax elements within libraries.

@jestdotty I like Screeps, too but nobody wants to play it with me :/

@jestdotty I haven’t played for years.

Back then I was playing on public servers and it was fun, but then I wanted to play on a private server with a couple of friends.
And I can’t convince any of them to try it out.

I did the tutorials in JS and as you might expect, I hated it.
So for the real game I switched to Kotlin, which compiles to JS.
It was a great dev experience!

@Lensflare ah I see so you crave a private server with your friends

I got a friend into screeps

I can't host a server though. best way to test is that but honestly docker is no way to distribute a game. it kept just bugging out horribly for me so I just gave up this time around

Working on MMO dev, then procrastinating it by working on another project. Current one is an AI function calling aggregator (can work as both MCP and ai function/tools). Maybe I'll add re-action emojis to snek, that's been on my list for a while

My side project is building a business so I don't have to be an employee anymore.
